  Every wondered what the meaning of flowers is...  

 

Well wonder no more...

The meaning of flowers is as old as civilisation itself, and has been used as an expression of emotion for centuries.

The language of flowers started in the harems of the Middle East, where secrecy between lovers was essential.

Each flower had a meaning and secret messages could be exchanged.

The Victorians took this language to their hearts and produced several dictionaries of the language of flowers.

The Romans honoured their heroes with laurel wreaths and the Ancient Greeks adorned their palaces with flowers.

Bouquets of flowers were carried during ancient feasts and festivals.
